Just curious as to some of the strangest, oddly shaped, miscellaneous cargo you have carried on your bike. I have had a case of beer, 2 liters of liquor and mixers. Once went to the produce stand and came back with back pack, saddle bags, and tank bag full, even had a water melon. Yesterday i went to visit mom, and brought back dads air compressor.

I don't know what is in the picture, but I have had some stuff loaded on my bike. When I moved to Texas I looked like a gypsy with the bike all loaded down. I never pack that heavy anymore
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

Looking at it on a blackberry screen made it hard to recognize. Ha. Haaaaa!
If I make it to the Arkansas rally I'll be loaded down pretty good.

I had to go to our Pendleton branch one time to replace some stolen computers. It was summer, I wasn't going to drive. So, I loaded up four laptops and two desktop computers on my bike. Whoever invented those small bungee cargo nets was a genius.

When I was a lot younger, I found an old rocking chair in a creek bed. I strapped it to the rear of the bike as best I could (no rack) and put another strap around me and the chair. Drove about 11 miles that way. My mother was thrilled to get it, as she restored furniture.

Arstaren ... you must have got a few weird looks .
I transported a goose about 30 kilometres in my jacket with it's head hanging out but that was at night and I travelled reasonably slow so as not to alarm the bird.

Nearly as wide as some sidecars I've seen Brin. A very adaptable carrier you have there.

 What speed was reasonable to the goose?

Years ago my daughter wanted one of those "new to the market" lifelike dolls for Christmas. The only place that had one was about 40 miles from me. I thought how big can they be I'll stick it in my saddlebags. When I got it from the shop it was at least 3 foot tall and the same build as my 2 year old daughter.
Some funny looks as I rode through the Christmas traffic with a two year old child in a romper suit strapped to my pillion.
All the best
Chris

You should meet some of the women round here.

I know it'd take all the "fun" out of it, but have any of you guys seen this new vehicle model call a "PICK-UP"? 
I'm speeding because I have to get there before I forget where I was going.
